Suggestion

If WCG sent an email to all those who no longer crunch maybe they could comeback.

If the email contained recent successes it could almost certainly inspire some to comeback.

Is this possible?

Re: Suggestion

They already do that Falconet. I have a username I no longer use (Dataman@BC) and I routinely get an email about every 3 months (not sure about the frequency) encouraging me to come back.

Re: Suggestion

I was having overheating and other problems with my former computer, so a stopped doing WCG and forgot all about it. When I got my new computer, I never thought of restarting WCG again until a few months ago. I don't know what reminded me, maybe an email?

Anyway, I hope they keep sending volunteers emails for a few years after they have become inactive. Sometimes there are reasons the cruncher stopped (as in my case) and those reasons disappear a few years later (as in my case).

Getting an email every time a new project comes on line might stir up renewed interest. E.g., I would have been re-motivated by the current water project if I wasn't already motivated.

I guess it's a fine line - I'm sure they don't want to annoy ex-volunteers by being too persistent.
